A Samurai in Time
A Samurai in Time (Japanese: 侍タイムスリッパー, Hepburn: Samurai Taimu Surippā) is a 2024 Japanese fantasy comedy film directed by Jun'ichi Yasuda. it is a low-budget independent film produced for 26 million yen. Initially, it was shown in only one theater, but it gained popularity through word-of-mouth and expanded to more theaters. The media called it a "surprise hit reminiscent of One Cut of the Dead (2017)."
Kosaka Shinzaemon, an Aizu samurai lived in Edo era, was struck by lightning and inexplicably transported to 2007 Japan. He found work as a kirareyaku (a stunt performer specializing in being 'cut down' in jidaigeki) and became successful. Then, to his surprise, he received a major role offer from movie star Kyoichiro Kazami.
Director Jun'ichi Yasuda poured his own personal fortune into the production of this film. Yuno Sakura, who appears in the film as an assistant director, also served as the actual assistant director. Makiya Yamaguchi, who played the lead role, is an actor with a long career, but this was his first time starring in a film. Seizo Fukumoto was initially cast for the role of Sekimoto, but due to his passing, Rantaro Mine, Fukumoto's junior, was cast instead.
